Ch. 203 - Jiujiu Wants To Elope

The next morning, as the sun rose in the east, the golden morning light poured over the Sword Wine Peak, illuminating the peak's symbol -- a towering jade gourd statue.

Beneath the statue, numerous disciples with impressive physiques and covered in bumps all over were wielding their heavy blunt swords weighing hundreds of pounds, studying the signature sword technique of this peak: "Mountain Dwelling Sword Intent".

There was a saying in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect that the character of the sword should match that of its wielder.

This Mountain Dwelling Sword Intent was an extremely strong and masculine sword technique that emphasized the principle of 'one force breaking through ten opponents'. As a result, most disciples of Sword Wine Peak were not particularly bright; they were more like unrefined thugs who shared similar characteristics with their peak master.

For the disciples and maidservants on the peak, Yun Jiujiu was seen as a bold, manly, domineering big sister.

As long as there wasn't a formal occasion, they did not even address Yun Jiujiu as the Second Miss. They would call her either "Sister Jiujiu", or "Big Sister".

However, today, "Sister Jiujiu" seemed a little different from usual...

...

In the waterside corridor of the Cloud Wine Mansion, three tall maids, five and a half feet in height, came to Yun Jiujiu's bedroom carrying clothes and water basins.

Bang bang---

"Sister Jiujiu, are you up yet? We brought the clothes."

"Oh... oh! Come in!!!"

The voice in the room sounded slightly flustered, causing the maids outside to exchange puzzled glances.

Creak---

The leading maid pushed the door and entered. However, they were all frozen in their tracks after walking into the room.

What they saw was Yun Jiujiu sitting in front of the dressing table in the room. Her golden hair, usually tied into two big buns, was now scattered down her shoulders, slightly curled. Moreover, her face was covered with heavy makeup, and she was dressed like an actress on stage.

The dressing table was filled with various cosmetics, and a golden embroidered dress hung on a hanger. There was also a pair of delicate gold-threaded embroidered shoes placed below.

Not hearing any movement, Yun Jiujiu turned her head to look. When she saw the maids all frozen at the doorway, she frowned and asked, "What?!"

The leading maid opened and closed her mouth, then walked slowly to her side, put the clothes down, and asked, "Sister Jiujiu, what's up with you today..."

"I wanted to try something else. Do you think it looks good?" Yun Jiujiu was quite satisfied with her makeup, her skin as white as snow, and her rosy cheeks. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Do I look like a girl now?"

The maids looked embarrassed. They felt that Yun Jiujiu now resembled a little boy who played with his mother's cosmetics and smeared them on his face. Of course, they didn't dare to say that out loud.

The leading maid forced a smile and said, "Sister Jiujiu, why don't we help you dress up?"

"How troublesome, tsk..."

Yun Jiujiu pouted and glanced at herself in the mirror again with a hint of disgust on her face. She had never liked those feeble women and couldn't understand why men would like that kind of girl.

But...

Thinking of how Brother Yu looked at the girl who followed Yun Xi yesterday, she felt very unhappy.

"Then, you guys help me dress up. By the way, has Brother Yu woken up?"

"Ah... Mr. Feng just went to the martial arts field to practice swordsmanship. He should be back in a while. We must prepare the roasted chicken later."

"Okay... then, you do it, make me look good."

Hearing this, the maid behind her was momentarily torn between happiness and sadness. She smiled wryly and took the comb from the dressing table to tidy Yun Jiujiu's hair.

While tending to her hair, the maid looked at Yun Jiujiu's bitter face in the mirror and asked in a gossipy tone, "Sister Jiujiu, are you dressing up especially for Mr. Feng?"

"Yes," Yun Jiujiu said bluntly. "Yesterday, when we had our injuries checked, I asked Dr. Chen to scan him, and it turns out that he is a heavenly spiritual root. I was shocked when I heard that: a heavenly spiritual root rogue cultivator.

"Heavenly spiritual root?" The maid also looked surprised. "Then, why did Mr. Feng become a rogue cultivator? Wouldn't it be better to find a sect to join? It's much more convenient for resources and cultivation."

Yun Jiujiu smiled. "I asked him too, and he said he doesn't like the restrictions of sects; he wants to roam freely in the world. So, I'm thinking about whether or not we should leave the Moon Shadow Sword Sect together in the future and live outside. It wouldn't be too bad."

"Eh?" The maid stopped combing her hair and asked incredulously, "Sister Jiujiu, are you trying to please Mr. Feng?"

Yun Jiujiu turned to look at her, saying, "Please him? Of course not."

"Then, why? Why would you want to elope with Mr. Feng?"

"Hey, isn't my father about to leave seclusion? According to the current situation, he will probably appoint Yun Yiyi as the sect leader. After she becomes the leader, why would I stay and feel suffocated here?"

"..."

"It just so happens that I encountered Brother Yu, who is used to wandering around all the time, and he's also a heavenly spiritual root. So if I follow him, I'll definitely have a more comfortable life than staying in the Sword Sect. And... honestly, I quite like him."

The maid was speechless.

Of course, she knew that Eldest Miss and Sister Jiujiu didn't get along, and in the past, Jiujiu even beat up Eldest Miss black and blue. However, she still felt that this matter had gone too far and said, "Sister Jiujiu, after all, Eldest Miss is your own sister. I believe that even if she becomes the sect master, she won't make things too difficult for you."

"Don't you know her?!" Yun Jiujiu frowned and turned her head to stare at her, saying, "She is devious. Believe me, once she becomes the sect leader, I will have a miserable life. If the third sister became the sect leader, it would be better. But her? No way, I don't trust her."

"Then... are you going to leave just like that? Then, what about the disciples and servants of Sword Wine Peak if you leave?"

"If you want to stay, then stay. And if you're willing, you can come with me and Brother Yu. We can open a tavern in the Immortal City and live freely and comfortably. Wouldn't that be great?"

The maid felt that there was a big problem and remained silent for a while before asking again, "But... Sister Jiujiu, you only met with Master Yu for half a month. What if he's actually a wolf in sheep's clothing?"

"Impossible." Yun Jiujiu waved her hand confidently and said, "Brother Yu is very simple! He doesn't have any ulterior motives, and he says whatever he wants without hiding anything. He's also very smart, following him will definitely be good! Trust me!"

The maid frowned, feeling a mix of emotions.

Yun Jiujiu said Feng Yu was simple. But in her opinion, Yun Jiujiu herself was the most simple one.

Most likely, this decision was made on a whim by Yun Jiujiu.

If it were a small matter, she wouldn't mind. But this matter could become an important crossroad on the path to immortality. It could determine Yun Jiujiu's future life.

However, the maid also knew that once Yun Jiujiu made up her mind, no matter how much they tried to persuade her, it would be useless.

Although it was not a good idea to snitch, the maid decided to tell the Elders about it in a few days so that they would come and talk to her.

The three maids got down to business and soon turned Yun Jiujiu, who naturally had a boyish temperament, into a cute and charming girl.

Yun Jiujiu stood in front of the full-length mirror in the room and almost didn't recognize herself.

Her slightly curled golden hair cascaded down to her waist. She wore a floor-length golden-white dress that revealed her delicate shoulders, with a feather belt as an accessory. She looked like a fairy descending from heaven -- full of vitality and cuteness.

However...

Yun Jiujiu frowned and looked at the maid, taking a sharp breath. "Hiss--- how did you make me look like Yun Yiyi from decades ago?"

You're sisters, and you're short and have no boobs, wouldn't that make you a younger 'Eldest Miss'?

Speechless, the maid replied, "No, Sister Jiujiu, don't you want to be more feminine?"

"More feminine, it's not like Yun Yiyi, that soft-legged shrimp. No, it won't work. Brother Yu will definitely not like it. Redo it for me. It should be similar to the one named Pei, who accompanies Yun Xi. Brother Yu likes that."

"Named Pei?"

The maid didn't know her, but after thinking about it for a while, she roughly imagined something and said, "Sister Jiujiu, wait a moment, I'll bring more clothes."
